Events
Match Events
- 0' Welcome to Old Trafford that hosts another battle between Manchester United FC and Manchester City FC.
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' Ilkay Gundogan has been relatively quiet despite scoring 62 goals in his last 451 appearances.
- 15' The 30-year-old Anthony Martial has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 20' Manchester United FC is showing some good football. However, Manchester United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Luke Shaw made 422 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 29' It’s a booking for Manchester City FC player. Fernandinho gets a Yellow card.
- 30' GOAL! Anthony Martial fires home to make it 1-0!
- 30' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Rodri on 30 minutes.
- 35' It’s high time Pep Guardiola made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 40' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Manchester United FC and Manchester City FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 42' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Fred.
- 47' A quiet spell here at Old Trafford. Manchester United FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 52' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Manchester City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 57' Bernardo Silva has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 17 appearances with only 3 goals this season.
- 59' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Joao Cancelo.
- 59' A tactical swap from Manchester City FC — Gabriel Jesus on, Sergio Aguero off on 59 minutes.
- 64' Manchester City FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 69' Manchester City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 74' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Victor Nilsson-Lindelof suffering a number of foals already.
- 77' Benjamin Mendy is replacing Oleksandr Zinchenko for the Manchester City FC side.
- 78' The whistle greets Brandon Williams as he departs to be replaced by Eric Bailly.
- 83' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester City FC that had 451 games and scored 1055 goals.
- 88' Another change for Manchester United FC made on 88 minute. Bruno Fernandes leaves to be changed by Odion Ighalo.
- 90' Manchester United FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
